Chapter 160 Zombie Empress (91)

(Heurn Province- Fagong City)

(Inner Region- St. Lrean District)

One day had passed since Qin Lan had dropped off the five rescued women at the well guarded base and she hoped that they were doing okay.

Hopefully Sun Li's son was a kind leader who would remember to look after his family.

These were still the early days of the apocalypse so not everyone had fallen into degeneracy or desperation just yet.

But as the food supplies ran low… the real test of humanity would begin.

Supermarket supplies were finite and eventually the survivors would have to grow their own food.

The problem was that not everyone knew how to and especially those in the city were unable to use proper agricultural methods.

Qin Lan furrowed her brows as a few memoires from the original Qin Lan surfaced in her mind.

She saw people who were little more than living skeletons with arms and legs that were painfully thin, the desperation on their faces as they begged for food…

Qin Lan shook her head and tried to throw those uncomfortable thoughts to the back of her mind.

Suffering and deaths were all too common in the end times.

It would probably take decades or even centuries for humanity to revert back to a peaceful society.

Grrr…. grrr…grr…

A horde of zombies approached her car from behind a nearby building. Their eyes were pitch black and parts of their bodies were in various states of decay.

Qin Lan saw one elderly zombie in particular who was missing an arm and both legs. She crawled on the ground like a worm with her rotting mouth wide open.

The young woman turned her head around and motioned for Liu Yifei and Gong Li to get out of the car.

The two teenage girls were travelling in her car now since Gong Li's temporary vehicle got a flat tire a few hours ago.

"Are we going to be fighting sister Lan?" Liu Yifei asked curiously as she snapped her fingers and two large knives appeared out of thin air.

"Yes… I want to continue to hone your skills in real world combat," Qin Lan replied seriously as she opened the car door and got outside.

The scent was unbearable.

The rotten corpses that littered the ground would make anyone want to throw up but now Qin Lan merely wrinkled her nose.

Humans were incredibly adaptive creatures and for some reason Qin Lan had never been affected by the deaths that she witnessed since the end times had begun.

"Gong Li, I want you to only fire three bullets and make sure that they hit the targets that I am going to point out," Qin Lan calmly spoke.

Gong Li nodded solemnly and reached for the handgun that was attached to her hip. She pointed the firearm at the incoming horde of zombies.

There was a reason why Qin Lan had only taught Liu Yifei about close range combat.

As an ordinary human girl, Gong Li simply did not have the strength to face enhanced humans or even zombies when they evolved.

Getting into close range without the reflexes of an individual with an evolved ability was basically a death sentence.

Gong Li's greatest strength would be her ability to use firearms and Qin Lan hoped that she would be able to protect herself.

"Eve… don't get involved unless it is necessary," Qin Lan spoke calmly. She saw a vague humanoid figure nod from somewhere in the distance.

The zombie horde was quickly approaching so Qin Lan glanced at her student and waited for Liu Yifei to make a move.

Liu Yifei took in a few deep breaths in order to steady her nerves and walked forward while holding the knife in her palm.

She waited until the zombies were two hundred meters away before dashing forward towards the horde.

Qin Lan shook her head when she saw her student's reckless behaviour. Clearly, she needed some additional training.

Liu Yifei swung her knife and neatly cut off the head of a zombie who was wearing a police uniform.

She dodged to the side just as a hand with rotting fingernails swiped at where she had been standing just seconds ago.

"Gong Li… hit the one at the back," Qin Lan coldly spoke as she pointed at a tiny child-like zombie who was currently snarling like an animal.

The young teenage girl by her side raised up the handgun and her fingers slowly curled around the trigger.

Bang!

A single shot echoed through the destroyed city and the child-like zombie stumbled backwards in shock.

There was a large bullet hole in the middle of its forehead, and it soon crashed to the ground with black blood leaking out of the wound.

"Good job," Qin Lan was not stingy with her praise as she patted Gong Li on the shoulder.

A faint smile flashed across the teenage girl's face as she realised that her hard work had paid off.

"Liu Yifei keep being aware of your surroundings! Don't focus on just the enemy in front of you! Pay attention to the ones in the background as well!" Qin Lan shouted as she observed the fight.

Liu Yifei certainly had decent fighting skills, but it was clear that she still needed some experience in real combat.

Actually, the rate at which Liu Yifei improved was truthfully a little bit shocking. It was like she was the darling of heaven…

Qin Lan smiled as she dismissed that ridiculous thought from her mind. There was no way that Liu Yifei could be the heroine of this plane.

"That one…" Qin Lan softly whispered as she pointed at a zombie who was sneaking up on Liu Yifei from behind.

Gong Li focused on her breathing and could hear the steady thumping of her heart as she lined up her gun for the next shot.

She let out a heavy sigh as her finger once again curled around the trigger.

Bang!

The zombie sneaking up on Liu Yifei fell to the ground as a significant portion of his head exploded into pinkish red pieces.

This brutal training continued for around thirty minutes until the last zombie fell motionless to the ground with a knife sticking out of its eye socket.

Liu Yifei dropped to her knees and forced herself not to throw up as she looked at the blood, guts and chunks of flesh that stained her clothes.

Qin Lan walked over to the exhausted girl and gently ruffled her hair. She was very proud at the progress that both teenagers had made.

"Go and get cleaned up… I'll take care of the crystals," Qin Lan warmly spoke as she helped Liu Yifei to her feet.

Liu Yifei was too tired to respond with anything other than a small nod. Gong Li walked over and helped her girlfriend get back to the car.

Qin Lan smiled as she observed their cute interaction before bending down to dig for the crystals inside the zombies' crushed skulls.

It was a difficult and very gross process.
